Hello and welcome to the Slow Home podcast. This is episode 121 and I'll be your host for today's

episode. Why I'm your host for today's episode? Well, the show's creator, Brooke McCallery,

has come down with a severe case of strep throat slash tonsillitis slash i think the doctor called it

it looks like a war zone so she's co-hosting this episode how you're feeling i'm feeling better than i was

two days ago that's for sure you're certainly looking a little bit better thank you we are recording

within hours of it being released.

So we just snuck it in.

We didn't think we would be able to do it.

But I'm sort of glad we are because we're going to talk about play because that's the experiment for this month.

But let's first just check in really quickly and take a moment to look at the recent events

leading up to this episode.

Yeah. You know, you're very, very run down.

I'm very run down.

I'm very run down.

The last, if you guys have listened to the host for last week, you probably realized,

recognized that we're both a little bit emotional.

We both got quite teary in last week's episode.

And first of all, thank you to everyone who has sent in emails and messages and things of support because that meant a lot to us to hear that, you know, either you got, like, you picked up

where we were putting down and you got where we were coming from or, you know, quite a few

of you're like, thank goodness, you know, that's your vision of life going forward because,

you know, I thought there was something wrong with me.

Anyway, I just really appreciated the support we got from you all.
